Sweet Potato Home Fries

By ClaudiaJan

Roasted sweet potatoes are like home fries but with a tinge of sweetness and earthy spice. Chef Eugene Fritzler says the trick is to pull them from the oven only when they are fully caramelized, but not charred.

Ingredients

• 4 sweet potatoes
• 2 Tbsp vegetable oil, plus extra for baking dish
• A pinch of nutmeg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• Salt
